Louisiana officials react after the U.S. Supreme Court delayed its ruling on Louisiana's congressional map and will rehear the case, with Justice Clarence Thomas warning that race-based districts may violate the Constitution.

The Supreme Court ordered further arguments over Louisiana's congressional map that created a second majority-Black district.

Arguments in the case centered on Louisiana's response to U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick's 2022 finding that an earlier map likely violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark law barring racial discrimination in voting, and whether the state relied too heavily on race in devising a remedial map adding a second Black-majority district.
